Pros

They pay more than most other agencies in the area for similar work, at least for middle management positions.

Cons

Salaried staff are expected to work 60+ hours a week. Work environment was high stress and very toxic--coworkers acted like a bunch of middle schoolers who would rather play "mean girls" than actually do their jobs. Don't pay direct line staff enough to retain them long term resulting in lots of turnover and more work for managing staff on top of other duties. Leadership is a joke, many are less educated than the staff they supervise and throw managing staff under the bus in difficult situations.

Pros

8% company match for 403B. However you must stay employed for 5 years to actually receive all this 4.

Cons

Horrible work life balance. Senior leadership are very disconnected from direct care staff. Steve is more interested in meeting his 10 year goal than actually making sure services the services we provide are good. Largest amount of turnover in direct card field I have ever encountered. No paid holidays.

Pros

Compelled to share my experience at Balance Autism for future applicants looking to apply. The pros of the organization: - The opportunity to advance quickly due to high turnover. Depending on the department. - Making a difference for the person served, children and adults with Autism. - 8% match on a 403 B - Non-profit experience

Cons

The cons of the organization: - The lack of proper training – this is very essential in a direct care role as this has put employees safety at risk. -Management/ Senior leadership -Low compensation -Horrible culture -High stress environment with employees working almost 50+ hours per week depending on the position The first few months of employment with Balance Autism was great, however, with the change in leadership it became very apparent that the organization was no longer head in a direction that I could support. If you’re looking for “experience” this is the opportunity for you, but if you’re looking for a career I suggest looking elsewhere.
